Rose Wylie

Rose Wylie (born 1934) is a British painter.[1]

Life and work

She was born in Kent.[2] She graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA, in 1981.[3]

She lives and works in her Kent cottage, producing extremely large paintings on unstretched, unprimed canvas, creating a kind of artlessness.[4]

Wylie was one of the seven finalists for the 2009 Threadneedle Prize,[5] and one of the winners of the 2011 Paul Hamlyn Prize for Visual Arts.[6]

In 2010 Wylie was the only non-American artist represented in the Women to Watch exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington DC.[4] In 2012, she had a retrospective at Jerwood Gallery, Hastings,[7] followed in 2013 by an exhibition at Tate Britain, London that featured recent works.[8]

In September 2014, she won the John Moores Painting Prize.[9][10]

Personal life

Her husband was Roy Oxlade, also a painter. Wylie initially gave up painting to raise their family.[9]
